Americas Non-Country Committee (NCC) Candidate Information
The Americas Region Non-Country Committee Voting Representative (Americas NCC Voting Rep) will serve alongside approximately 250 other voting representatives from DA's country committees to discuss and vote on DA business – such as Resolutions, our Platform, and international leadership elections at global meetings.
The position of Non-Country Committee (NCC) Voting Representative (VR) was created through changes in the Democratic Party Committee Abroad (DPCA) Charter in 2021 to ensure that all members of Democrats Abroad have representation and a voice in our global organization. The role of NCC VR is an important development for the growth of Democrats Abroad and the enfranchisement of DA members who didn't previously have representation in the DPCA governing body.
Please review the candidate statements below before voting for your regional representative.
